For those curious how to communicate to Influx 2.x, this UDP method now requires telegraf. Otherwise, I suggest using an HTTP based "polling" (configured on InfluxDB side) or push. It seems that polling via "scraper" may be the most configuration friendly option if you can get a stable hostname or network address.

InfluxDB 2.2 doesn’t directly support the alternate write protocols
[supported in InfluxDB 1.x](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/supported_protocols/) (CollectD, Graphite, OpenTSDB, Prometheus, UDP).
Use [Telegraf](https://docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/v1.22/) to translate these protocols to line protocol.

Hi,

I see you've fixed some issues with the original source. There are however still two settings that need to be updated in init.py https://github.com/jabastien/esphome-influxdb/blob/c6669d3bcfa14ac8300db0b46764c6718a53c3ad/__init__.py#L63

Nameable needs to be change to EntityBase here as well.

One other question:
Do you know which version of Influx this works with? For InfluxDB2 I think you need to specify a bucket and api-key. Those properties cannot be specified as far as I can see.

Hi,

i have successfully been using this component to send measured data of my energy plug (Blitzwolf SHP6 running ESPhome) to my influxdb 1.8 database.

This is my configuration:

# Connection to InfluxDB
influxdb:
  host: 192.168.84.16
  port: 8089
  publish_all: false
  tags:
    device: '${device_name}'
    client: '${client_name}'
    sensor: '${sensor_name}'
  sensors:
    power:
      ignore: false
      measurement: 'plugs'
      tags:
        units: 'Watts'
    voltage:
      ignore: false
      measurement: 'plugs'
      tags:
        units: 'Volts'

This worked as long as I specified an IP address in the "host" section. (either the local LAN IP address of my Influxdb host, either my public IP address)
However, when I replace the IP address by a domain ( subdomain.domain.be or myname.synology.me), the data doesn't arrive in my Influxdb anymore. The ESPHome log doesn't give any error message, so the specified domain seems to be valid.

I tried different ways of entering the domain:
host: subdomain.domain.be
or
host: "subdomain.domain.be"
or
host: 'subdomain.domain.be'

They all give the same result: no error messages in ESPHome log, but no data arrives in my influxDB.
